Located in the vast desert on the coast of the Red Sea in Egypt's Suez Province, the Exadia 500 kV substation project undertaken by a Chinese company has begun to take shape. The Chinese and Egyptian builders are currently installing and debugging the final stage of the equipment. Ensure that the project is put into production on schedule.

"According to Egypt's development plan, the Suez Canal development axis in the region will be built into the largest trade center in the Middle East and Africa. In the future, a large number of factories and enterprises will have more electricity demand. At the same time, Egypt's new administrative capital The massive infrastructure construction has also brought challenges to the regional power supply." Ma Chi, the project contractor and deputy general manager of the Middle East and North Africa Regional Center of Xi'an XD International Engineering Co., Ltd. (XD International), said that the project includes all the voltage levels of Egypt's main power transmission network and connects the Ain Sokhnai Power Plant, the new administrative capital, and essential industrial users in the region and surrounding towns through transmission lines of different voltage levels. It has become an important part of Egypt's national power grid's backbone network and provides reliable power supply support for local economic and social development.

It is worth mentioning that the 14 transformers, 57 interval GIS and outdoor equipment included in the primary equipment of the substation all adopt Chinese technology, and the equipment used in some projects has also been produced locally in Egypt. In 2009, China XD Group and EGEMAC Company, a subsidiary of the Egyptian Ministry of Electric Power, jointly established XD-EGEMAC High Voltage Electric Co., Ltd. (XD-EGEMAC) to produce high-voltage switches, power transformers and other power transmission and transformation equipment, mainly for the Middle East and North Africa regional market. According to reports, up to now, Xidian International and Xidian-EGEMAC have undertaken more than 30 substation projects ranging from 66 kV to 500 kV in Egypt, providing transformers, reactors, switches, arresters and other power transmission and transformation equipment for dozens of substations. Which greatly improved the production capacity of local electrical equipment in Egypt and made Egypt the first country in the Middle East and North Africa to manufacture 500 kV ultra-high voltage power transformers.
